Living The Dream
Cornwall has the most beautiful landscape you could wish to set your eyes on, made still more dramatic with the evening silhouette of St Michael’s Mount in the background. That was exactly the view Lori and his Cornish wife, Irene, had as they took over the tenancy of their first public house in the village of Portscatly: a beautiful village with many lively characters, each with their own little story to tell. Jean’s story will tug at your heartstrings, whilst Steve’s tragic tale will show you that a moment of madness can change your life forever. Typical families and friends keep village life moving. The landlord’s foreign name has not gone down too well with the crowd. “It’s enough to make a man curse,” some would say. “And now they are taking over our pubs too,” some others would say. So will Lori and Irene win over the locals, as they tirelessly try to get involved with the local community?
A Few Years In The Life of a Protest Poet
'I began writing poetry/ditties shortly after moving down to Cornwall back in 1977. It's amazing how inspirational the lapping of the tidal waves can be. Whilst working on a building, I began writing poems about all the different workers on the toilet walls. These were humorous and inoffensive, and although I'd written about the gaffer, he must have liked them, as he never sacked me. 'The pandemic caused me to put my thoughts down on paper, ranging from what we've done to this planet and its wildlife, to how the Government has dealt with each situation, good or bad.'

Hwang Byungki
This is the first book in English about an Asian composer who writes primarily for traditional instruments. Following a thematic approach, Killick draws on 25 years of personal acquaintance and study with Hwang Byungki, as well as experience in playing his music, to analyse the works and celebrate the career of this influential Korean composer, performer, and scholar. Using Hwang Byungki as a focal point, this book also explores how new music for traditional instruments can provide a means of negotiating between a local identity and the modern world order.
The Politics of Knowledge and Global Biodiversity
The establishment of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) points to the crucial role attributed to science and knowledge for the successful implementation of biodiversity politics by both scientists and policy-makers. With the increased importance of biodiversity in international politics, and in part inspired by the success the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has had in raising awareness of global warming, the call for an ‘IPCC for Biodiversity’ was successful. The Politics of Knowledge and Global Biodiversity gives a full overview of the process of its implementation as finalised in 2013 and proposes an innovative conceptual fra...

Primary English Curriculum Guide
First Published in 2001. The purpose of this curriculum guide is to help student teachers and newly qualified teachers to make a start on learning how to become competent teachers of English. Despite the emphasis given in training courses to the teaching of English, newly qualified teachers often feel underprepared for it and frequently mention their concerns about this. These concerns can be partly explained by a general lack of confidence in this key area and partly by widespread media and political criticism of the teaching of literacy. It is also because it is often difficult for a student to make the connection between observation of key teaching strategies and his or her own personal practice.

Black Politics Today
The late 1980s ushered in a new era of black politics, the socioeconomic transition era. Coming on the heels of the protest era and politics era, the current stage is characterized by the emergence of a new black middle class that came of age after the Civil Rights struggle. Although class still isn’t a strong factor in the external politics of the black community, it is increasingly a wedge issue in the community’s internal politics. Black politics today is increasingly less about the interest of the larger group and more about the interest of smaller subgroups within the community. Theodore J. Davis Jr. argues that the greatest threat to the social and political cohesiveness of the so-called black community may be the rise of a socially and economically privileged group among the ranks of black America. This rift has affected blacks’ ability to organize effectively and influence politics. Davis traces the changes in economic status, public opinion, political power and participation, and leadership over three generations of black politics. The result is an insightful analysis of black politics today.
